Sing Along El Bimbo

[aandrei]

Hi, experienced friends!

I tried to sing along "El Bimbo".

Apparently, the midifile had to be transposed -2.
After that, my instrument is still out of tune.
Can anybody help me, please?

What I have to do with the midifile to sound good for the notes on my staff?

I think you should transpose the midi file (-2) and save as new midi file.
You can use for example this free MIDI editor (Domino 1.22 - English version):

Hi, vmuller!
I did that from the beginning. It was not enough, that's why I opened this post.
The transposed midi sound good on its own but wrong (out of tune) with my instrument (as if it should be transposed with fractions of a semitone).
Is this even possible?
It is a common occurrence or it happened just to me?
Is there a way to "tune" further an instrument or the midifile itself?

Later edit:
On a second look I found that the "transposed midi" had only first few measures transposed...
I'll try again.
Thank you for answering me.

All settled now.
I successfully played along midifile transposed -2 in external program.
Yesterday I tried inside vArranger (I did not knew then that vArranger's "Transpose" is transposing BOTH the midifile AND the instrument).

It will be nice to have separate "Transpose" settings for instrument and midifile inside vArranger.
Have a nice day!

Great.
And here is the sheet music according to your midi file.

I fixed a missing "C" chord symbol in measure no. 52. in my previous post.
Btw. The Style should be somethings from the Latin category.
